Binance has added new trading pairs for Avalanche (AVAX), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Uniswap (UNI), expanding market access for these tokens as 2026 begins.
Uniswap has burned 100 million UNI after a governance vote approved a continuous, fee-driven burn mechanism. The move introduces an ongoing deflationary policy that could tighten supply and reshape token economics.
UNI jumped about 19% after voting opened on a proposal to enable Uniswap's protocol fee switch, even as the broader crypto market remained subdued. The vote could channel new revenue to the protocol treasury and reshape incentives for liquidity providers.
Lindsay Fraser, associated with Uniswap, will become the Blockchain Association's new policy chief as Congress debates a market structure bill with major DeFi implications. Her arrival strengthens the industry's advocacy at a pivotal moment for crypto regulation.
Monad Mainnet is now live on Uniswap with MON trading and pools available; the network promises throughput of up to 10,000 transactions per second. The launch aims to improve trading speed and DeFi composability for developers and users.
Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin called X’s new country-of-origin display “risky,” while Uniswap founder Hayden Adams labeled it “mandatory doxxing.” Crypto users and developers warned the change could expose pseudonymous accounts to abuse and regulatory pressure.
Uniswap launched Continuous Clearing Auctions, a new on-chain auction mechanism aimed at transparent price discovery, debuting with Aztec's token sale. The move reintroduces ICO-style launches with stronger on-chain controls.
UNI jumped roughly 70% this week after Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation unveiled the 'UNIfication' governance proposal to activate protocol fees, triggering heavy whale buying and a spike in new wallets.
Dromos Labs will roll out the Aero protocol in the second quarter of 2026 to simplify cross-chain swaps on Ethereum and position itself as a challenger to Uniswap. Aero also promises to boost rewards for liquidity providers directly, aiming to attract both traders and LPs.
UNI/USD is trading near the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement at $7.525 and the lower boundary of a falling wedge on the 4-hour chart, signaling potential bullish continuation if the pattern resolves upward. A confirmed breakout could put $11 back on the radar, but volume and a sustained hold above $7.5 are crucial.
